M Robust Mechanical Design StorageTek brings enterprise class reliability to the L180 and L700e Tape Libraries All subassemblies are streamlined for example cabling is simplified to reduce the number of connectors Also the cartridge gripper mechanism uses a quiet and simple design which results in high performance The L180 and L700e Tape Libraries use highly integrated electronics All the main library functions reside on a single controller card resulting in a more reliable cost effective solution than a motherboard with several plug in modules This minimalist approach enables the library to yield both high value and reliability Table 10 1 Table 10 1 Reliability Measurements of the L180 Tape Library Mean exchanges between failures 2 000 000 Mean time to repair Less than 30 minutes Mean time between failures 360 000 hours full operation MT9111 Revision M 10 1 Self Contained Drives E Self Contained Drives When key components of a system are distributed throughout the library system fault isolation becomes difficult and encourages a trial and error approach to fixing a problem In the L180 or L700e Tape Library each drive module incorporates all of the drive s critical components located in one self contained unit If a drive experiences a problem the drive is identified and it can be replaced without disrupting library operation This eliminates the need to go through a lengthy fault isolation process Anothe
